Wednesday, March 14th, Cardio & Cafe

 There is always the dread of hitting the treadmill at 5:15 AM each morning but at 6:15 AM I am rocking because I know I can eat my 1100-1200 calories today without guilt.  It is worth it but just don't ask me to say that at 5:00 AM.;)

Good luck with the move.  It will be also nice to spend some time with your daughter.  Have fun... And the packing - and doing things - is a very good exercise - so on top of doing good for her - you are changing your routine - most likely you may see weight loss..

It is a beautiful day here.. Bare legs, little dress.  Love it.  Spring is here... at least this week.

Eats today: 
coffee+ coconut milk
cheese and chips ( to get some carbs)
protein shake
soup/stew with 1/2 flat -out
protein bar 
sahimi tuna or some meat and veggies. (going out)
meat and lettuce ( or fish)
LNS grapefruit 

 

Not sure what is going on with me...I am so tired...I am however on my cycle...I had a "freeze" done too which is not comfortable (female problems)
I have been doing a low carb diet...not NO CARB just low carb..it is easiest for me...
here is my plan for today

Em-  coffee...later ate a few slices of salami ( tempted by kids breakfast)
B-      turkey sausage, poached eggs, baby bell, and lemon blueberry cheese cake "desert"
S-      pro shake
L-      chicken breast, zucchini salad and a shirtaiki (sp)  noodle salad..( low carb awesome product)
S-      pro bar
D-     tomato, salami, black olive , marinated mozz cheese ball skewers maybe some zucchini salad 
S-      2 pb protein balls ( yummy )  

I've tried the shirataki noodles.  I have a slight issue with the texture, but am told that can be alleviated if you prepare it differently.

Do you know if any sites that offer recipes?  This would be a GREAT filler and is very low carb and has little to no calories of its own.

THE SITE I ORDER MINE FROM HAS WONDERFUL RECIPES...AND I BUY OTHER PRODUCTS THERE TOO...I TWEAK THEM RECIPES TO FIT MY TASTE OR NEEDS. AND I BUY THEM IN BULK AND THEY HAVE A FLAT RATE SHIPPING ...REALLY THE BEST I HAVE FOUND.
 IT'S

HUNGRY GIRL HAS SOME TOO... I BUY WALDEN FARMS PRODUCTS TOO...THE SALAD DRESSINGS SO FAR ARE AWESOME... I BOUGHT THE PEANUT BUTTER BUT DO NOT LIKE THE TEXTURE...ALMOST OILY FOR ME...BUT I MIXED IT WITH SOME P2B AND YOGURT AND IT WAS FINE...I EAT IT WITH APPLES OR STRAWBERRIES...
I LOVE TO COOK SO MOST OF THE THINGS I MAKE ARE TWEAKED RECIPES..IF YOU WANT ANY OF THE  RECIPES LET ME KNOW..OR IDEAS REALLY...
 I CAN E MAIL THEM TO YOU.
HERE ARE SOME LINKS I USE  FOR EITHER RECIPES OR PRODUCTS.
